Set within York’s medieval walls, this Grade II listed one-bedroom apartment offers an authentic period interior and strong short-let credentials. The flat is compact but well-proportioned (approx. 561 sq ft) and has an open-plan living area, a principal bedroom with en suite, plus a separate bathroom — a layout that works for holiday rental or a city bolt‑hole.
The building’s character is a key selling point: a striking Victorian entrance, bay window, timber worktops and an original Victorian range create charm and visual appeal. Its central position places major attractions, restaurants and transport links on your doorstep, supporting rental demand and giving excellent lifestyle convenience for residents.
Buyers should weigh some practical downsides. The property has an EPC rating of F and relies on electric room heaters with assumed uninsulated solid brick walls, so running costs may be higher than average. As a listed building, alterations will be restricted and could complicate refurbishments. Service charge (£1,646pa) and a small ground rent (£200pa) apply; the apartment is leasehold with c.244 years remaining.
For investors the flat’s central location and existing holiday‑let record are attractive; for someone seeking a city base it provides ready-made character and convenience. If you’re planning upgrades, budget for energy efficiency improvements and consult conservation guidance before any works.
